With germs all over the news, and on the minds of children and adults everywhere, award-winning author Edward Kay sets the story straight, as he blends loads of solid information with humour, cool fun facts and disgusting details to make learning fun. Hilarious comic-style art by Mike Shiell heightens the grossness and the appeal. The topic of germs - a general term for bacteria, fungi, protozoa and viruses - is highly relevant and inherently interesting to children, and the up-to-date information is presented in a way that's accessible and easy to manage.
